My wife & I apparently had a latent emotional tie to the Terminator movies, and never knew about it until my son asked if we named him & his older sister after the main character. My wife acted very puzzled, until I said, “No, we didn’t name our daughter Sarah and our son Conner because we loved that movie.” and then told my wife who she is in the movies. My son asked after seeing the ads for the movie on TV and the newspaper. One of the odder questions I’ve had to answer as a dad.

Could be worse. Have one daughter named Élan, and another named Elise.

My son is very small and named Richard. Does that count?

Could be like the South Park episode of Raisins (read: Hooters) where all the girls are named Mercedes, Lexus and Porsche

Would those two daughters occasionally not work?

I would never curse my children nor shame my own seed for bestowing upon my spawnlings the fearful names of terrible build quality and leaks. They would be very easy to handle, though.

In my experience children spend a lot of time leaking.

My cousin’s daughter’s middle name is Elise, and she was born not long after the car was released. People in my family wonder how I remember the name.
